The spark of joy I experience every time I see that little caterpillar pop up in my Substack feed 🙌 the new creative fodder buffet is HERE! Bless you for including a recommendation for Shrinking on here. It is the light this world needs and deserves. I'd add Only Murders in the Building to that mix, if anyone hasn't watched the recent season that just wrapped. Oh, and Ghosts! I just love funny shows that also make me think (but like, not too hard).
And I'm thrilled to be writing alongside you in our version of NaNoWriMo! I've been eating up my mentor text, The Orange by Wendy Cope. It's a reminder I regularly need that great poetry is great poetry, even if it's funny, and that I can write into the funny without the dark, and it's still necessary and good.
Ugh this comment makes me so happy 🥹 and THANK YOU for the reminder to return to OMITB! Also I haven't seen Ghosts but consider it officially added to the watch list. 🫡
And yaaaay NaNoWriMo! Staying motivated is proving HARD in the midst of ... *gestures vaguely* but I just love that you chose a book that embodies both poetry and humor. That just feels *so you* to me. 🤍
A zine every day!! Holy shit, that's amazing. Are you going in with some kind of idea of plan re: what you want to cover thematically throughout the month? Or is this more of a 'surprise yourself and see what wants to come out each day' sort of thing? Either way, so fun.

I love seeing the various challenges people take on in November! I’m making a zine every day this month.

I have a short list of ideas, but mostly surprising myself and seeing what I come up with!
